Pros

Great work life balance and great people to work with

Cons

New leadership changing the culture to be more of a profit and loss center, versus value and vision driven. It is hurting the culture of the company and creating low morale. A few Reductions in force across the past few years since the company is struggling in fundraising and not as effective in some core markets.

Pros

Good work life balance and benefits. I love the people I work with everyday.

Cons

Decision making by company leadership and HR often feels very sneaky. Decisions are framed as having people's best interest in mind but that is very easily proven to be untrue. Advancement doesn't occur except for a select few that receive opportunity after opportunity without any real merit.
